FLOODS AND rItESHETS.
Tie Work of the Rain-Transportation i
%toji,wd-?Wabouts in the Iairoadw.
Newberry has not yet adopted that
system of water works and electric
ights, but during the past few days
the has had an abuLdant supply of
water.
On Saturday afternoon and night
tb<re was a heavy rain fall. Sunday
morning the lowering clouds partially
disa >eared, but in the afternoon the
rai i- dPescendedd in heavy torrents
an(! continued nearly throughout the
entire night. The streets were washed
in diteiles and gulleys, anii Scott's
Creek covert-d the bottoms above the
raiiroar. crossing, as it was wont to do
before the culvert was removed. The
dwellers in the houses in the bottom
were warned about one o'clock on Sun
day night by the rapid rise of the water
that they would have to move out for
their safety. This they did, some wad
ing through the water waist deep in
order to reach dry land.
The streams throughout the county
were much swollen, but at this writ
ing we are unable to give the damages
to the county in the way of bridges
washed away.
The bridge at Godfrey Harmon's on
Bush River is gone. The Werber's
Mill bridge has been injured, although
not entirely washed away. Lindsay's
bridge on Bush River was moved out
of position, still persons were crossing
on Tuesday. The water was over the
banisters of the bridge at Mendenball's
mill, but it remained in position. Other
bridges no doubt have been more or
less injured.
THIE RAILROAD WASHOUTS.
Newberry with her ten daily passen
ger trains finds it a little inconvenient
to come down to one or two a day, yet
such was -ur fate this week.
The new schedule on the Anderson
train went into eflect on Monday, and
on that morning came through from
Columbia, giving us Columbia's mor
ning papers at 8 o'clock, but the train
got no further than Dyson, for when it
reacLd that point it found the track
about five feet tinder water. The track
at several other places between here
and there was also submerged, and we
have had no train from Greenville this
week.
The train returned to Columbia
Monday night, but did not venture out
Tuesday morning.
The old Laurens went through all
right. The up passenger came to New
berry and returned.
On Tuesday morning the passenger
train from Columbia started, but wben
it reached a point about twelve miles
from Columbia a trestle gave way and
the engine and mail car were turned
over in a ditch. No one was hurt.
The mail and passengers were trans
ferred to the Laurens train, and it re
turned to Newberry about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon.
This wreck was cleared and the
Anderson train came through yester
day morning. It will be some days yet
before the trains can make their
schedules.
On the C. N. & L. railroad there was
a small washout about two miles below
Newberry, and the train for Columbia
did not leave Newberry until one
o'clock on Monday.
On Tuesday this train ran off at
Prosperity and was delayed several
hours.
Accounts of the freshets elsewhere
are published in another column.
The Saluda was as full as it was in
1888, but Broad River seems not to
have been so high.
At last accounts the rivers were
gradually falling, and if the rains cease
there wvill be no further damage.
The damage to the railroads will be
heavy. The C. & G. has had no freight
s -w , ggg mgorning,nd is
still at New berry.
The trains passed through yesteeday
(Wednesday). The train from Green
ville reaching Newberry late in the
afternoon.
The Richmond and Danvill people
have been very prompt in repairing
damage and getting their trains
through.

SP'AWrANI J, 3arch 10.-;.ieiit.
1. A. Garlington, of Arctic and Indian
war fame, passed through here to-day
for his old home in Newberry, wire
his family are now residing. He sil
wears his arma in a silken sling, where
it has been since he was; paInfully
wounded by Iudians at Wounded Knee
Creek in January last.
Lieut. Uarlington looks well, but
seemed considerabi y fatiguei froi his
long trip across the PIhaits. He will
stay in Newberry for one week, and
will then go to Charleston, where he
will stay perhap for three iionths. The
objects of his visit there will be to in
vestigate the advantages possessed by
Charleston as a recruiting station. To
this duty he has been assigned by the
war department, and it will take some
time to investigate and report.
At present Lieut. Garlington is on a
wounded furlough. Speaking of the
Wounded Knee fight, be said to me
that Capt. Wallace and all the soldiers
acted heroically. Before returning to
his command Lieut. Garlington will
probably visit his relatives in Laurens
and other counties.-Special to Ness
and Courier.
Lieut. Earnest Garlington retebed
Nc ewberry on Tuesday night on the
Laurens train, arriving at 2 a. ni.
Opera House.
The New York Theatre Company
gave their first performance in the
Opera House on Monday night. The
play, "Man and Master," was a good
one and well rendered by the Con
pany. On Tuesday night they pre
sented "Jack's Sweetheart" which was
enjoyed by a large audience. To-night
(Wednesday) they will present the
popular play entitled "Hit or Miss."
If you want to see a first class perform
ance go to the Opera House to-night.
This Company is one of the best that
has been here this season and should
have good houses. To-norrow night
they will play "Galley Slave." 'tre
prices are low enough for everybody,
50, 35 and 25 cents. Don't fail to see
"Hit or Miss."
The New York Theatre Company
will remain here the entire week, giv
ing a change of programme every
night, also a matinee on SaturJay af
ternoon.
The Fitzpatrick Company gave a
very poor rendition of "Rip Van
Winkle" to a very small house on Sat
urday night.

SWe learn from Edgefield that the
historic place, so long asleep in its clas
> sic shades, is now awake, as "a strong
a man from sleep," and is doing won
derful things. Cotton factories, granite
. quarries and other industrial enterpriset
t -together with new stores, handsome
private residences and a grand hotel
awill soon convert the village into a city
r of beauty and activity.
SEdgefield has always been noted foi
y the culture, refinement and elegani
hospitality of its citizens. Her mer
have been renowned in war and in th<
t councils of State; and now that th<
~sons of worthy sires are about to en
ogage more largely in commercial an<
industrial ventures, we do not doubl
g that their talent developed in thes<
g lines will bring them fame and for
tune.
, Happening in Edgefleld for a singli
- night, about a year ago, we chanced t<
ir meet a number of the young men o
r- the town who were making a sick call
e and, were we to express our admiira
tion of them, we should say that w
we were simply - charmed. Be
le cause of their handsome appearance
Yes. But more particularly for thei
imodest and gentle bearing. On returu
ing home I asked a gentleman on tb
train if the young men of Edgefiel
c- h]ad a special society for culture
He thought not. Was sure they had n
4- Y. M. C. A., but that they were
3splendid lot of young fellows!
And now, in addition to all the oth<
uy good things that Edgefield is doin;
she has established a Young Men
Christian Association which alread
numbers one hundred and eleven men
bers!
As an evidence of the spirit in whi<
i-they have gone to work, it is said th;
Lur at a recent meeting of the central ass
ciation it was determined to carry tl
work all over the County of Edgefie
and establish a branch of theY. M. C..
at every church, school house at
-cross road. This is glorious wor
, Though Edgefield has been late in e
S gaging in such work she has, go
grandly into the labor, and promises
- transcend them all and set an exami
worthy of imitation by older assoc
tions. SANs Soc

"Future Progress Society." of South
Carolina, be taken and thateach Lodge
should possess one of them. The annual

enjoyed by all.
The report of L. Duckett, Grand

$298.50 to pay incidental expenses have
been collected.
The receipts of Treasurer Duckett
show that S2,571.25 have been paid to
beneficiaries from March 5, 185, to

Some snow and sleet fell here on

Owing to the season of year our

Sorry to learn that MIrs. Lucy Lake

Mrs. Sallie Kinard is still lying at
her daughter's in a low condition. Mrs.
Kinard is an aged lady of eighty-five

of her recovery.
Mir. James Crosson, of Lewviedlale,

Messrs. Edgar and Carrol Shealy, of
St. Paul's community, spent Saturday
night with friends in this neighbor

Tphe overseers of public highways in
this neighborhood are trying to put the

Owing to the abundance of rain it
senms to be a difficult matter to im
p)rove the roads much.
Rain! rain! Yes, we have been hav
ing an abundance of rain and the aver
age farmer is getting badly behind
with his work. but let us all try to re
main happy and cheerful.
It seems strange to see the Anderson
train passing by us this week, as she
now makes her run from Columbia to
Anderson and return each day. Such
a kind act upon the part of the railroad
authorities will certainly be appre
ciated by the public generally. The
old reliable Laurens also passes through
our quiet little community just the
same.
Married, on last Thursday afternoon,

the occasion was a pleasant one, how
ever, only a few mnvited guests were
present. On Friday evening a goodly
number in this community gathered
together and gave the happy couple
cheering serenade at the groom's resi

both parties. Thus another one of oun
young men has joined the matrimonia

Board of Equa;i.ation.
The Board of Equalization met on
Tue-dav in the Auditor's oftice to can
vas the returns of personal property.
Tie following members were present,
every town.lhip being represented ex

ToVahip 11-P. M. Derrick.
On motion, Capt. I1. H. Folk was
rc-elceted chairman, W. C. Cromer, au
ditor, acting as secretary. A report was
reeeived from the different townships
by the menbers.
The basis of valuation of first-class
stock was fixed at $100, but very few
changes were made in the returns.
In Township No. : the minimum re
turns for household goods was fixed at
1~>. In the other townships there was
110 m1inimum amount fixed, the return.;
being left as made by the individuals
or as raised or lowered by the various
township boards.
In regard to the return made by the
Newberry B;ank the board desired all
the information it could obtain, and on
motion, Mr. R. L. McCaughrin, presi
dent, was requested to appear before
the board. He did so, and after thor
oughly canvasshg the situation the
board decided unanimously to leave the
return of the Newberry National Bank
as made by the president. The stock
is returned at par.
The auditor will make a statement
to the comptroller-general in regard to
the action of the board on the bank re
turn.
The board, after having spent a day
of hard work and having acconTlished
nothing, drew its pay and adjourned.
We mean by this simply that 'soards of
equalizations are a useless expense.
Inasmuch as the member frori No. 7
was absent, the board author:zed the
auditor to canvas the returns an: equal
ize them with the assessmhent,s in other
townships.
''he auditor informs us tha t it is his
opinion that the returns this year will
be largely in excess of the amount of
last year's returns.
TEACHERS' COLUMN.
School Districts.
It seems that if we are to have the
county cut up into smaller districts we
will be forced to wait until the next
meeting of-the General Assembly. The
County Board of Examiners have the
right to form as many districts as they
think proper, but at the same time
they cannot redistrict the county with
out the means to do so. The last ad
vice that the commissioner has receiv
ed is that it is doubtful whether money
.can be used for the purpose without
special legislation.
There are some portions of Newberry
County that could be made into small
districts with great benefit to the
schools. There are other portions
where it would not be of so much
benefit.
The County Board of Examiners.
however, will entertain propositions
from any community to form itself
into a district, should the district to be
formed not injure materially the pros
perity of schools already in operation.
Teachers' Institutes.
At the Teachers' . .eting at Pr_o -
perity on next Saud - e
We have already had two institutes
in Newberry County, and those who
have attended feel that thbey were bene
fitted.
We want trained teachers in our
schools. We want teachers who under
stand their work, and who are willing
to perform it faith fully. Ex perience is
a great teacher, it is true, but we can
learn a great deal from the experience
of others,-and this will make our work
the easier.
If every teacher in South Carolina
could attend a training school one year
or more it would be a great help to our
comnmon school system. This cannot
be done, however. For those wbo
cannot attend these training schools
and they constitute the great majority
-the institute is held.
Let us all go to prosperity and give
the association our approval of the in
stitute this summer.
Thorough Work.
The average pupil may have finished
a number of books in his school course,
but this often gives us nio idea as to the
extent of his education. He may have
gone over the school course in such a
way that his work is unsatisfactory
and almost a failure.
One reason-and the main one-is
that the prinmary work has been done
in an unsatisfactory manner.
The pupil has been carried too rapid
ly through the primary grades. He has
not been taught to be thorough in
earlier school days. -Perhaps, as is very
often the case, the lessons assigned
haave been too long-of such length
that he could not prepare them thor
oughly, consequently he feels discour
aged.
Trhe teacher should insist upon
thorough preparation, and in order to
have this, the work assigned must not
be too dimieult. Let the pupils know
what they go over, though it be but
little. A little well done is better than
a great deal poorly d ne.
The public schools in some of the
townships have closed. They havE
been in operation only three months,
The reason of this is that in these town
ships where the terms are longer therE
is a large number of children and nol
so many schools.
,In those "communities wvhere tin
schools have run only three months i
would be well for the p)eople to supple
ment the public fund and run thi
schools six months, or even longer
& WXe are glad to know that in a grea
-many instances they are willing to d<i
s this. A term of three months onl:
does not meet the demand.
e -
-We learn that 31r. E. 0. Counts ha
0 taken charge of the Prosperity HligI
-School. MIr. D)reher, the former princi
t pal, has resigned on account of failin,
a health.
We are glad that MIr. Counts ha
again decided to teach. We hope tha
he miay continue at the work, as he ha
alwvays met with success in the schoo
room.
On next Saturday the Teachers' A~
fsocia tion will meet at Prosp)erity. Ever
teacher is earnestly requested to a
tend. The teachers from Newberr
-can golown on the early train in ti
morning and return at 1.15 p. m.
The association should meet at
yv o'clock, so that the work can be easil
t inis5hed.
